i'm happy to talk about steve jobs. i don't think there is a human being on the planet who has been as influential in the last 30 years on the way culture developed. >> for steve jobs, think different wasn't just an advertising slow gafpble it was the way he ran his whole business. nobody thought a computer firm knew anything about the music industry until the ipod changed everything. apple had never made a mobile phone until the iphone transformed another industry. and the idea that millions of people might want to use a tablet computer seemed farfetched, until steve jobs showed off the ipad. now his firm will have to think different without him. continuing to break new ground without the man who's come to embody apple is bound to be a challenge. >> i think it's going to be hard for them to really find that level of commitment and passion that steve brought. that said, there are still really extraordinary people at apple. still one of the great companies in the apple. >> apple's history as been about more than just one
